extrem newbie to linux

[nstanbro]

So I loaded Fedora 12, with no issues, as my first Linux experience. Played around for a day and them loaded Amahi got to the reboot screen, hit reboot and now i come up to a screen that says:

type=1305 audit(1262919871.503:373360): auid=4294967295.....ect, ect.....

how do i log back in?????

[lou1z]

is this a x64 or x32 install. some people have issues with hardware and the x64 whereas the x32 will go in no problem.

[nstanbro]

its 32x and the whole screen reads:

type=1305 audit(1262919871.503:373360): auid=4294967295 sesj=kerne
l op="remove rule" key=(null) list=4 res=1
type=1305 audit(126919871.503:37361): audit_enabled=0 old=1 auid=4294967295 ses
=4294967295 subj=kernel res=1

does this mean that Amahi is not loaded correctly or is there a step Im missing? Ive never used linux before so Im not sure where to go from here. Please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[lou1z]

when you say loaded amahi, was it a fresh install? did you specify the amahi repositories during the setup?

[nstanbro]

yes and yes

[lou1z]

try loggin on remotely using putty and delete all files in /tmp & /var/tmp if any

looks like an SELinux error.

you can disable SELinux like this:

Code: Select all

root@localhost# setenforce 0

To disable after reboot edit the file /etc/selinux/conf:

Code: Select all

SELINUX=disabled

[lou1z]

yep, i'd agree that it's an selinux error too although not sure i'd want it disabled full time as it offers that extra layer of security. but to get it to boot initially, it's certainly worth trying to disable it.

[cpg]

he can't boot though.

my suggestion is a bit advanced, which is

- boot as rescue mode
- chroot to /mnt/sysimage in the second console and
- do grub-install /dev/sda

for more detail, go to the fedora channel: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=fedora
